Wind over 50mph has been seen over much of the UK through the night but far stronger around the coastline and hills and mountains. Trees have been uprooted and travel heavily disrupted. Some flights at Leeds Bradford Airport were cancelled this morning due to the high winds, and one Ryanair flight was diverted to Newcastle Airport after being forced to circle Leeds thanks to the wind.

Arrivals from Southampton, Aberdeen and London, from operators Flybe and British Airways, which had been due to arrive in Leeds Bradford early this morning were cancelled.

A spokesman for the airport said: "Any cancellations do not just relate to the weather conditions at Leeds Bradford, the high winds have been affecting the arriving or departing airports up and down the country too.Meanwhile a second video shows how highly-skilled pilots negotiated this morning’s windy weather at Manchester Airport.

Despite the challenging conditions, just seven flights were diverted from landing at the hub to other airports including Leeds and Birmingham.

The rest were able to take the gales in their strides - with this Manchester Evening News video showing Qatar and Flybe aircraft coming into land.
